On-call Engineering and Architecture Services

Poudre School District R-1 is requesting qualifications from engineering and architecture firms to provide on-call design services for the 2026-27 school year, with proposals due October 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. MT. This is an RFQ establishing a prequalified vendor list; the RFQ does not guarantee any awarded vendor a specific project, minimum quantity of work, or expenditure of funds. Individual projects will be awarded to the most responsive and responsible vendor offering the lowest pricing.

Vendors may respond to one or more portions of the requested services and are not required to address all scope items to be considered for prequalification. The district seeks firms capable of providing engineering and architectural design services to support summer construction projects on an as-needed basis. Vendors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of documented experience as a general contractor and successful completion of at least three K-12 construction projects within the previous five years of similar scope and budget. Proven experience in renovation projects involving existing building conditions, quality-control procedures, cost-conscious design solutions, and active construction administration is required. Vendors must provide appropriate licensed professionals for each discipline, detailed organizational capacity information, three professional references preferably from Colorado K-12 public schools, and proof of required insurance coverage.

Upon selection, vendors must enter into a negotiated agreement with the district prior to commencing work. Awarded agreements may be extended for up to four additional one-year terms at the district's discretion through written amendment. Questions must be submitted in writing through BidNet by October 12, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. MT. The district reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, request additional information including presentations or interviews, and select vendors based on factors beyond pricing, including capacity, scheduling availability, specialized expertise, and past performance.
